Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'a painful or irritated condition of the throat' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'sore' (painful/tender) with 'throat' (the anatomical channel). This simple adjective+noun compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and would be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Sore throat comes from a simple picture: the throat feels sore, so it is red or hurts when you swallow. That's why it means 'a throat that hurts'.
